Machines decide faster than humans can supervise. With AI agents on the rise, Virgilio Almeida, Fernando Filgueiras and Ricardo Fabrino Mendonça call for "polycentric governance"—distributed human oversight through sandboxes & auditing—to keep agents accountable.

cut it out with the "we're cooked" shit. if wrestling fans and juggalos understand that chanting "fuck ice" is the way to go, what's your excuse

This design brings me sincere joy.

America is fighting back, and this is a fight we can win. Watch the full video on YouTube: The ICE Protests are Working. youtu.be/rY6VUFm0V6s

I have a new rule. If I’m so irate over an issue that I get a bumper sticker about it, I’m also going to write and call my senators and house representatives in the process. #abolishice #saynotodeathsquads

I don’t know how you’re coping lately, but I’ve been plumbing the depths of 2000’s era Simpsons.

Even when there’s no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.

"Did I hear you're managing a hot fish shop?"

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

This is a great episode. If you remember when software was less hateful, know that you’re not alone.

In addition to being bad, this is all pretty stupid.

I’m finally in the market for an Apple Pencil. Holy cow, how did this one product line get so fragmented?

After a shockingly short amount of time, I was able to fully migrate my site from WordPress to @11ty.dev. This project reminds me of what I enjoy about the Web. sherrard.glaittli.net/blog/2026/01...

I really enjoyed this episode.

I'm taking a little coffee break to call my senators and say defund and abolish ICE. Feel free to do the same.

This is the thing that’s giving me hope lately. As bad as things are, the administration’s plans don’t always work out and are hitting limits. They won’t be around forever.

ICE’s killing of Renee Good sent a clear message to Americans: oppose Trump’s policies at your peril. It’s hard to imagine a greater affront to the First Amendment. bit.ly/3Kq348R

The introduction of bulk crafting to Animal Crossing:New Horizons is just enough to carry me though Winter

preview says 3, as of now the headline is updated to 6

Democrats need to realize ICE isn’t just—or even primarily—a mass deportation force. ICE is also Trump’s most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

The more I learn about ICE, the more I understand that it’s an organization designed to recruit only loose cannons.

Doesn’t game theory suggest that in a stable, cooperative system where powerful agents play by a set of established rules, someone who “defects” & stops playing by the rules wins big for awhile, but then the system gets destabilized, chaos rules, & eventually a new system gets rebuilt on the ruins?

I’ve been called out for my maudlin posts about fascism lately. I stand by them, man. It’s a scary time in America right now. The only way through Hell is through to butcher the quote.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

ICE is Trump’s Death Squad

As of today I am more certain than ever Americans labeled as undesirable will be placed in camps or quietly disappeared. I don’t think there’s any hope for civil rights.

Growing up in the 80’s with disability, I knew I was hated for it but at least I could make myself useful with smarts. Now America hates disability and intelligence. The rest of the world is following suit. I don’t think I have a place in this world anymore.

I don’t know. I guess this is just the direction the world wants to go. As a disabled person I counted on expertise to be my currency. Now that’s not even valued. What is even the point of going on?

Nazis have taken over America. I don’t see much of a future left.

Abolish ICE

The fact that nothing is being done about this — and that people keep blithely hanging out on that site as though its owner and a key part of its official architecture aren’t actively enabling disgusting criminal abuse at scale — is making me lose my mind

Don’t use Grok. Unless you just want to make it burn tokens into oblivion, in which case, by all means.

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

I’m going to keep posting on my old crappy site while I’m making a new site Since my old site can’t do preview thumbnails for shit, I’ll give you a little teaser of this shockingly prescient AI timeline from 1974. Yes, we are in the “Mysterious & Sexy Unknown” sherrard.glaittli.net/blog/2026/01...

The more I learn about this operation, the more I wonder what the Hell actually happened? Wait, the existing government is in place? Everything Trump does is a dumb trick.

I again wish to point out that it is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. has unilaterally ended CDC recommendations for many childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

I've said this before and I'll say it again. It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

No kings. No empires.

Never has a President wagged a dog harder than Trump and MAGA now. To distract from Epstein, the explosion of health and homeowners insurance costs, and the tariffs that are decimating small businesses, Trump is plunging this country into a war and using our soldiers as pawns.

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

I actually think it's time to bring back the approach of curated lists and webrings from the early web again. Huge opportunity space for hand curation of information

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Fuck this American Imperialist adventure in Venezuela. Fuck it. And fuck you if you voted for this. Yes, you.

Happy New Year! May this song be the anthem that helps us bring back the “fun internet.” Protocols not platforms! ✊

Once Upon a Katamari is my 2025 GOTY.

Huzzah! Fuck this fascist bullshit!

And now with more natural language options, I’m also having web pages and PDFs read to me and it’s (not so) horrible.
